Hyperbolas
Diagonal Hyperbola
The equation xy = 16 also represents a hyperbola. This hyperbola has its center at (0, 0), and its transverse axis is the line y = x. The asymptotes are the x- and y-axes. Its vertices are at (?16, ?16) and (-?16, -?16). The graph is shown below.![DiagonalHyperbola1 DiagonalHyperbola1](https://claregladwinresd.glk12.org/pluginfile.php/974/mod_book/chapter/453/Conic_Sections/images/DiagonalHyperbola1.png)
